Just in case you didn't know (you probably do!), there are a couple of fun vegan events coming up:

1. L.A. Vegan Beer Fest. May 4. If you've never been, and you like craft beer and vegan food trucks, this is the event for you. :) Tony (from Mohawk Bend, Tony's Darts Away, and Golden Road fame), Quarrygirl, and Nic Adler (of the Roxy) put this on -- I think it's the 4th annual? I've been the last two years and it's awesome.

I did. I was at the panel Elizabeth Wein was on, too, but I got there late and was only there for 15 minutes of that. I started Code Name Verity a while ago but had to put it down because of the interrogation scenes. My grandparents were Holocaust survivors so that is a difficult time period for me to read about. But I heard from many friends who loved the book and if she writes another YA set at a different time period I will read it.

It's that time of year again. LA Vegan Beer and Food festival general admission tickets are still on sale, but unfortunately the non-drinking tickets are already gone! For those of you who do drink, tickets can be had here: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/479439

Along different lines, the LA Times Festival of Books passes go on sale tomorrow! This year, vegan cookbook authors / actresses Mayim Bialik and Alicia Silverstone will be there. As well as authors of many other wonderful books. More information can be found here: http://events.latimes.com/festivalofbooks/

I want to go to this SO BADLY. My partner and friends are craft beer crazy and they are always going to beer festivals.

Chances of them going to this one are about 0% though, unfortunately. Put vegan in front of something....its a no.

Maybe....he actually feels bad. I think he was just grumpy the first time we talked about it! he is offering to buy two VIP tickets for us for $150 off craigslist, but I don't know about that. I will check a couple of days prior online, and maybe some will come up cheap on Craigslist or something. I buy tickets to events like that sometimes :)

That's really sweet of him! If you do go, let me know how it was. If not, I'll try to post here again next year when tickets go on sale, if I remember to.
